so i have to make stickers of a certain topic for an art class....which would be making vinyl stickers...i chose skiing..and he said we could use companies logos and other things off the internet...
so my question is...is it legal to make stickers of companies such as echeadwear..saga..armada..if it is solely for art class and i am going to be the only one keeping the stickers and not selling them..

can i do this? or will i be sued lol

Not legal since it's copyrighted or registerd, but doubtful that you'd get sued.  If you're worried, don't.  Better safe...

Bingo. Not a problem if you're not selling them or distributing them in any way.

Maybe he didn't know how you peel off the back, put down the sticker, and peel off the waxy part. Maybe he thought the sticker was TRAPPED in between two papers!

It's only if your using their copyrighted name/logo to make money. As long as you don't sell them your fine.

Why would you care if its legal? They are little stickers that you made in class, are you seriously afraid of getting sued?

with everything that has gone on so far this past year i wouldnt put it past some of these companies. wme suing level 1 for using warren millers voice, scott usa making on3p change the name of the great scott, redbull making ns stop the sale of fake redbull merchandise on ns. i realize these things may not directly reflect on the company as a whole, but it still happened and its mad gay

Yea but these are all companies suing other companies, they arent going to sue some dumb kid with no money to begin with. The absolute worst they would do is send a cease and decist order unless they are absolute dicks. How are they even going to find out anyway?

I realize that, i didnt mean he shouldnt because he would be getting sued, i was just saying that its better that he check and that he should realize that there is the possibility of being asked to stop by companies, that is if he is selling them after. making your own stickers for your own personal use is not illegal as far as i know.

i could see companies finding out if he was selling them on ns or claiming them super hard on ns. however its not illegal if he is making them for himself and not distributing them or profiting.
